It really has a ton of early nineties trance styles, it has cafe del mar feelings to it, which is probably the most remixed dance track in the 90s, and that boomtang remix feels like it occurred at a pivotal moment in the trance rave scene. It sounds like a solid connection between generations of electronic music, so I'm glad to have found it.

There was a version in the UK around 1990 subtitled "a musical orgasm" - I only know because I bought it.

Hats off to the drummers going nuts behind this bleepy shit.

[@brobenheisen5224]

I believe all the drums were synthetic noise composure

Can we get a F for Greg please

[@Mekchanoid]

@@brobenheisen5224 Perhaps they were moog drum sounds triggered using drum controllers by a real drummer? Like Karl Bartos in Kraftwerk.

The original '69 version by Kingsley should be the Earth Planet Anthem the day we meet the aliens and enter the Galactic Federation.

Thank you for your awesome work of compiling these songs! I won't die ignorant

[@davidperry4013]

My favorite version is the boomtang boys trance version because it’s the most well rounded sounding version.

[@Artaios02]

The version by Klaus Wunderlich was released in 1973 on his album "Klaus Wunderlich Hits Again 3".

[@StepanTrnka]

Not only a chronological evolution, but also a quality de-evolution :-D

[@ВалерийКарелин-ю6у]

this melody is my mostly like. First in 1975 and now time. Thanks for Gershon Kingsley!

[@spankysmp]

I like the 1979 orchestra version once it gets going....and of course the Swedish Chef :-)

[@GabeNotNewell]

on "De llamas" show (RTL) this tune was used when wheel was spinning

[@Richipoor]

Conocí esta obra en la versión de J.M. Jarre cuando no sabía de Kingsley, si yo fuera músico tendría la satisfacción de interpretarla casi fielmente al original como lo hicieron buenos músicos.

[@Noname-w7f1e]

I swear at the first contact with the aliens event we are gonna be playing this or the Beverly Hills cop’s theme...

[@ciderfan823]

Why not both? Also, I'm now picturing a scene where Axel Foley's movements are based off this song. Lol
